Full course description

Course Overview

This
course continues the first semester course, and is designed to help you
develop your writing, critical thinking and reading skills. All
assignments and assessments are aligned to the English 9 Indiana
Language Arts Standards, and each lesson will tell you which standard/s
we are tackling. Assignments include reading, writing, and speaking;
independent and collaborative work; and low-stakes and high-stakes
writing assignments.

Organized
to allow a flexible schedule, pacing guidelines and suggested
benchmarks are provided to help students maximize their learning and
earn their course credit in a timely way. Students can expect to
interact with peers as well as to receive regular constructive feedback
from their teachers. The course provides learning experiences focused on
Indiana state literature and composition standards.

This
course is designed for high-school freshmen. Note that all Cooperative
courses are limited to students under 21 years of age.

Prerequisite

None.

Required Materials

We
don't have a textbook, because, quite simply, we don't need one. In an
online classroom, we can find plenty of good information open-source
(free), which saves you money and hassle. There are a handful of
books--children's picture books, as a matter of fact!--that we will use
in this course. You can find a list of them here.
The class is aligned to Indiana's learning standards, so it's not just
literature based. Actually, it's very skill-based. It will teach you how
to do some new things and how to do some old things better...instead of
just having you read literature and write about it, although (of
course) we will do some of that, too!
